After two weeks, the global climate conference COP28 came to an end with a declaration that took hundreds of hours of deliberations by thousands of participants from nearly 200 countries.

The gathering is not one of colour, race, religion or class but of brilliant ministers, climate and environmental experts, scientists, global energy experts, academics, CSOs, and youth groups all with a single mission of saving the world from the impact of global warming.

Known as the UAE consensus, the COP28 declaration launches the transition process from fossil fuels to renewable energy sources.

Meanwhile, more than 49 million people in West and Central Africa will be affected by food insecurity and malnutrition next year.

These are the findings of a joint press release from the Food and Agriculture Organization FAO, The UN Children Fund UNICEF and the World Food Programme WFP.

The humanitarian organisation warns that famine is on the rise.
